My next adventure, if I can't patch up those PR's.


This game is a bit old, but most reviews I read of it are indeed positive.

Latest patch seems to be 2.17.1.0 is that right?


Seems to be free for download

Thanks for the imformation, corsair. The installer wants to install things i don'nt have on my computer that's needed for the game. I have an AMD video card, not Nvidia but it wants to install NVIDEA Physx (Legacy). WHat should i do?


I can still install my CD version but have no idea if it's patched up before the free download era started and the newest dievelopmets either

Not sure what to advise about the old CD install.
Support via website is via Discord Server or support Ticket.
(account required for both)
Forums has been discontinued

May be best to go with the CD version.
Hoepfully you can update to the latest build.
The game has changed developers more than once
and can't find any install guides as yet.


on PhysX
https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Glossary:PhysX


https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/physx/physx-9-13-0604-legacy-driver/

Games that require this installer include:
Pirates of the Burning Sea (POTBS)



This is info for the Velevet Assassin game,
another old game that required the legacy physx driver,
hopefully some of this procedure is relevant to Pirates of the Burning Sea


How to Fix the most Problems of Velvet Assassin
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=288653046

How to Fix the Ageia Engine I PhysX Error
This Works for AMD Cards and NVIDIA Cards!

For games that use SDK versions before 2.7.1 the PhysX Legacy Installer must also be installed. These are games that were released around the end of 2007 or earlier. (AGEIA titles) Examples of these games include CellFactor, Clive baker’s Jerich, Gears of War, Pirates of the Burning Sea, Switchball and Velvet Assassin.

That means, the Game don't work with the actual PhysX Driver.
But NVIDIA created an Special PhysX driver extension.
So you don't need to patch to an earlier Version of PhysX

see link for an install procedure
some of the downloads links may now be outdated,
a google search may be best

As far as I can make it out

(EDIT:
see later post below by Guardacostas
with an update from Pirates of the Burning Sea Support
Apparently AMD is now supported by the Nvidia PhysX Drivers)


Think legacy driver runs in software mode on CPU
rather than natively on the NVidia GPU on the Graphics card
with the Nvidia native PhysX drivers.

Software physX mode should work on AMD cards
as doesn't used any Nvdia hardware specfic features

Game display options config may have relevent settings
you may need to check. Alternatively there may be a
PhysX specific section in the config.


If you want to try the latest download installer (36mb)

suggest a custom install if that install option is present
deselect nvidia native physx drivers from installing.
but select physx legacy driver if present (otherwise install it separately)
(Should tell you if any other required software components are required
such as the main PhysX engine)


AMD (ATI) cards are listed as supported for the game
but obviously Nvdia Graphics Cards offer hardware acceleration for physX
which is not available on AMD. with a recent CPU should expect that not to be an issue.

Support got back to me at burningsea.com. AMD video cards are ok with the nvidia driver. Certain older games require the legacy driver.
